IRENE COMING THURSDA Y nothing in musical history in recent times to There has been comedy f match the record of Irene, which the gifted playwright penned a few jrears ago. It is a comedy of metropolitan life, the heroine being a clever and vivaci- ous shopgirl and the hero a rich youth who falls in love with her when he begins to dabble in business life. In the background are various amusing characters, including Irenes dear old Irish mother, whose sense of com- even Winter Garden and Follies . edy is richly Celtic. The whole play is saturated with humanity,1 comic and romantic, and it is embellished with a song hit score by Harry Tierney, with lyrics by Joseph McCarthy. The proof that the piece has extraordinary intrinsic worth, part comedy, part romance and part extremely tuneful music, is attested by the fact, fiat it has achieved record-breakinsuccess wherever it has been presented. In New York it has been running continuously since November 10, 1919, though the cast has been changed repeatedly. Various Irene companies not one of them boasting of a famous star, have played phenomenal engagements from Boston and Baltimore to Chicago. What the theatrical men call capacity audiences have been the rule during every engagement and return engagements have been sought everyg where. In Boston the first engagement was extended several times. The customary week in Baltimore drew $32,000; in Washington, $35,000, and the average weekly receipts for the Chicago engagement amounted to the unprecedented total of $37,000, surpassing 11 -- ords. When the present Western tour was decided upon, three prominent Pacific coast managers, Homer Curran, Peter McCourt and Calvin Neilig prevailed upon the Vanderbilt Producing Company to organize a special company, including the principal members of the New York and Chicago casts.
